🏓 Sunshine, Pickleball, & Latin Spice: Live from Chicken N Pickle 🎧
How to sound-design a 3-hour patio party into a family-friendly vibe.
Hey Familia,
If you haven’t been to Chicken N Pickle in St. Charles yet, picture a massive indoor-outdoor playground: pickleball courts, bocce, giant Jenga, a gelateria, fire pits, and bars everywhere. It’s a beautiful multi-generational space, which means the music has to talk to everyone.
This past weekend, I took over the patio for their Cinco De Mayo celebration. The crowd was a beautiful mix of generations, and the sports fans were locked into the Kentucky Derby on the big screens.
LIVE: The Chicken N Pickle Summary Set
Instead of dropping the raw 3-hour file, I went into the studio to edit, simplify, and condense the afternoon into a high-value 73-minute journey.
This show-mix demonstrates exactly how I anchor an outdoor space, weaving through Top 40 and Latin Pop while sneaking in some old-school funk, country twists, Kid Cudi, and a fire Boots on the Ground(KidCutUp Edit).

It’s completely clean, upbeat, and dialed in to keep the energy flowing without disrupting conversations or game points. Drop it in your speakers the next time you’re hosting outside!

Current Goal: Showing how large, commercial, and sports-driven venues can be elevated using intentional, culturally diverse soundscapes.
Whether you are programming a massive indoor-outdoor corporate activation, a community festival, or a private celebration, I build atmospheres that make people want to stay all day. Let’s co-create.
Stay Blessed,
